Sam and Billie Faiers reunite at glam event despite family rift rumours

Sam and Billie Faiers took on a united stance at a chic event last night, amid reports of a rift that's said to be 'creating a divide in their family'.

The Sun recently reported that their mom Suzie Wells feels “caught in the middle” as her once very close daughters continue to drift apart.

However, on Thursday night, Billie, 36, came out to support Sam, 35, as her Revive Collagen brand organized an event in London to introduce its collaboration with Spice Girl Mel B.

In tribute to her new ambassador Scary Spice, former Towie star Sam flaunted her curves in a snug leopard print dress.

Meanwhile, Billie chose a daring lilac ensemble, pairing a stylish jacket with trousers of the same vibrant hue.

Sam and Billie posed together, all smiles at the trendy rooftop restaurant Ce La Vi Lon in West London – but insiders have shared that away from the spotlight, their relationship is currently quite strained.

After Billie was missing from 57-year-old Suzie’s family Easter festivities, an insider shared: “Billie spent Easter with friends rather than family.

“Typically, she and Suzie are really close, so her absence was quite unexpected.

“It seems she regretted not being there, highlighting how infrequently the sisters now see each other.

“Suzie really wanted them both around; it’s truly unfortunate. The distance between them is clearly increasing, making reconciliation increasingly challenging.”

Billie and her husband Greg Shepherd share children Nelly, 11, Arthur, eight, and toddler Margot, two, while Sam and her long-time partner Paul Knightley are the parents of Paul, 10, Rosie, nine, and little Edward, three.

The Sun detailed how issues between the sisters intensified when Sam left Essex for Surrey with Paul and the children in 2020.

Our insider revealed: “Billie was deeply affected by Sam's departure; their entire lives and careers were intertwined.

“It felt like a major change and created uncertainty about what’s next.

“Billie had always followed Sam’s lead, so it felt like a betrayal. Almost like going through a separation.”
